Toy Drive
Sunday, December 14th

The Committee for Troop 465 is excited to announce that we are holding a toy drive on December 14th. Our goal is to collect 43 new unwrapped toys at this year's Court of Honor on December 14th. These toys will benefit kids in need this holiday season. There is no age specific toy we are looking for. Although teenage toys are always the ones that are needed the most.

If you would like to participate but cannot make the Court of Honor you may drop the toy off at any Monday night meeting in December. We appreciate any and all participation.

Dazzle Days are Here!

Now through December 12th shop over 175 popular brands and earn even more for Scouting. Every Gift Card helps fund our troop’s programs; equipment needs & your Scout Account!

It's the most wonderful time of the year—for earning, that is. Two weeks of bonuses on eGift cards AND physical gift cards. Take your holiday budget further and earn even more with bonuses on popular brands for holiday shopping. CLICK HERE for details.

The purpose of the Boy Scouts of America, incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916, is to:

Provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character.

Train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship.

Develop personal fitness.

How you can get involved:

JOIN as a youth member with Troop 465.

VOLUNTEER as a Troop Committee member or Assistant Scoutmaster

GIVE to 465 Alumni Inc. to support Troop 465's sponsor.

  Serving youth for over 50 years, Troop 465 has had a proud heritage of molding boys into men according to the criteria listed above. Our Scoutmaster Emeritus, George Lingefelt, say's "If you want boys to become leaders, you have to train them and then let them lead", and thus began our "boy-lead troop" mind set. Jason Norred is our current Scoutmaster and passes these skills on. In fact, Scoutmaster Norred is only our 8th Scoutmaster since 1963.

Since 1996, the Troop Sponsor has been 465 Alumni, Inc., dba Friends of Troop 465, a non-profit organization specifically enacted to support Troop 465 both financially and philosophically. Troop 465 has a permanent Scout Hut, on over 3 acres, thanks to the generosity and foresight of 465 Alumni, Inc.

Troop 465 is unique because of the tremendous support from our members and their families. If you would like more information about joining troop 465, please click here.
